Wimbledon 2026: Serena Williams and Wawrinka bow out; Swiatek and Zverev through – as it happened

The brief

With that, it’s time to end this blog, on a day when there wins for Iga Swiatek, Alexander Zverev, Elena Rybakina, Amanda Anisimova, Taylor Fritz, Alex de Minaur, Grigor Dimitrov, Jasmine Paolini and Madison Keys, but defeats for Ben Shelton, Elina Svitolina, and the Queen’s champions Francisco Cerundolo and Donna Vekic, along with Serena Wiliams and Stan Wawrinka late on. And finally there was something for Britain to cheer about, with Katie Swan, Jacob Fearnley, Arthur Fery and Jan Choinski all progressing, after the 10 home defeats on day one. Thanks for your company today, do join Daniel and I for more tomorrow. Bye! Wawrinka, who is given the chance…
